    @BlizzardCS Error for 30 minutes now on PS5. Goes to 0 players then spins then login error server. Wtf? I actually paid the $40 for this. New to Overwatch, not a great first impression.

    Overwatch 2: 40000 queue, 6000 after 20 minutes, server error, 40000 again.

  • GuardianZombie1 Bartholomew ⚡️122 (@GuardianZombie1) reported

    @iScenario I’ve gotten error coded twice now. I can’t believe blizzard could allow this to happen. I have been a blizzard defender since the beginning and this is how they repay me? Blasphemous. Overwatch 2 is gonna flop. 100%.

  • Art_of_Melissa Melissa Peterson (@Art_of_Melissa) reported

    Wanted to try the new overwatch since the other onr ran weird on my computer. Randomly went down to 5fps. Guess they are having bad launch day server issues xD @Blizzard_Ent

  • MisfitNami 🧹Azure Nami Fair The Witch✨ (@MisfitNami) reported

    Splatoon 3: *Communication errors* Overwatch 2: *In Queue* (it's literally 1st hour so was gonna happen) Me: this is what I get for trying to play too many online games lately XD At least Dead by Daylight been fine though.

  • Avion_BR Rian? (@Avion_BR) reported

    @IMS00SORRY @RooJones6 @Xbox I'm not talking about Overwatch servers, I literally can't login into the Xbox Live, It says I need to turn on the internet, but It is already online

  • AoNoHasuArt 🎃αĸαrι🎃 ~ (@AoNoHasuArt) reported

    @mona9402_ @OverwatchES @PlayOverwatch It threw me when I had about 200 people in the queue. Now it doesn't even try, it gives me an error directly. I think I'll try it tomorrow anyway. 😑

  • DayJinshi Jin (@DayJinshi) reported

    The fact that I can't play overwatch 2 because I have cricket is the dumbest thing ever @BlizzardCS @PlayOverwatch please fix this

  • anxiouscloud_ ayse (@anxiouscloud_) reported

    Waited in a queue of 20,000 players to try out Overwatch 2. Finally got into a lobby. Selected my character. Got booted out because of a server error. Put back into a queue of 40,000.... 🙃🙃🙃

  • Zach_Spooky Spooky Zach (@Zach_Spooky) reported

    @OrdinaryGamers Overwatch 2? Don'tcha mean Overwatch 1.2? A proper sequel would fix all the errors and long queues with little problem.

  • WanderinTaco Positively Awful (@WanderinTaco) reported

    Glad Overwatch are addressing the server issues of logging on, but what about the issues with paid content? I would like the stuff I paid for.

  • Abernus69 Abernus (@Abernus69) reported

    @PlayOverwatch sat in the queue for 20 mins to play Overwatch 2. Get to the front of the queue only to be greeted with the error "Unexpected server error" and chucked to the back of the queue again.

  • saundersshots Saundersshots (@saundersshots) reported

    Waited 40 minutes for 9000 players in queue for overwatch 2, ended up failing relog the game and now I’m waiting for 40000 players. Typical launch day issues

  • HotGirlVomit Pysched (@HotGirlVomit) reported

    Anyone else having problems logging into overwatch two maybe I’m early and the servers aren’t up yet?

  • gtrumpet93 Garrett Peters (@gtrumpet93) reported

    @OhBayBeeBayBee @BlizzardCS No, I never downloaded the beta. I have the original Oberwatch, it updated to Oberwatch 2 and now I'm getting an error message for a free trial of Overwatch.

  • PassionGuard Passion Guard 🧚 (@PassionGuard) reported

    Well…it looks like I can’t play Overwatch 2 because of the phone number issue, oh well.

  • Nug_Star_ 𝔑𝔲𝔤𝔤𝔢𝔱 (@Nug_Star_) reported

    @TheMCZX I will be watching streams cause I’ll be damned if I wait that long just for it to somehow disconnect me nah I like overwatch but I’m not that press 30k people in que is insane

  • vancleash Cory (@vancleash) reported

    @ww3thegame Keep it up! No game launch is perfect! Right now Overwatch 2 can't even work. Their servers are being hammered so much that the game is having 40,000+ queues and server errors. This coming from a game that has been out for years being labeled as new.

  • SorenCDN Soren (@SorenCDN) reported

    @aethevern @Carter_OW made a good point tho, the UI looks like ******* ***, **** isnt even centered properly… bottle that up with the ****** server issues and people getting scammed out of their overwatch coin (@Gurululz) and this is one dogshit release for a game that NEEDED a good one

  • ttengnuzui TengenUzui (@ttengnuzui) reported

    Ty overwatch 2 for just made me loose my time for 1 hour and 30 min trying to enter. 7 completed queues of 30k people and always error on server. I'm done for today. Truly fans that stayed loyal all this time cannot get into game after waiting 6 long years to play something new..
